I want to use ‘CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3’, based on which iGPU(0,1) or dGPU(0,1), i want to run my program on. How are the GPUs numbered ?
Dear dhingratul,
You can get GPU numbers information like below via /NVIDIA_CUDA-9.2_Samples/1_Utilities/deviceQuery# ./deviceQuery

When i run this on DRIVE, it shows me 1 CUDA capable device is detected, whereas there must be atleast two, iGPU and dGPU. When i run it on Jetson AGX, it shows me 1, with the name “Xavier”, which is iGPU, but this is missing in the DRIVE.
Dear dhingratul,
I’m not sure what platform you have, if the platform is E3550, there is no dGPU. Please see “Table 1-2. Product Features per Configuration” in below link file.
https://developer.nvidia.com/drive/earlyaccess/docs/secure/DRIVE_AGX_DevKit_Product_Brief_v2.pdf
NVIDIA DRIVE™ AGX Developer System (E3550) : There is no dGPU.
NVIDIA DRIVE™ AGX Pegasus System (P3570) : Optional. The NVIDIA DRIVE™ AGX Developer System can be configured to mimic NVIDIA DRIVE™ AGX Pegasus System or NVIDIA DRIVE™ AGX Xavier System. Please contact NVIDIA for more information.
Dear dhingratul,
As Steve said, deviceQuery list all the available GPUs on the Tegra.
It lists the GPU numbers in the decreasing order of their computation power.
If you are referring to Device 0: “Graphics Devie” entry in the deviceQuery output, It is just a name that is given. Just to avoid confusion, please check iGPU has CUDA capability 7.2 and dGPU has CUDA capability 7.0 in deviceQuery output.
I indeed have E3550, but even in that case ./deviceQuery should show two iGPUs, I just see one.
Dear dhingratul,
When you run deviceQuery on Tegra A, it shows just the GPUs on TegraA system. You need to login to Tegra B to know other iGPU details.
Thanks, but I can still run my code on Tegra A or Tegra B logged in through either? If so, how?
Dear dhingratul,
The two Tegra SoC are packed into one system. You can ssh from one Tegra to other. Also, you can use inter process communication to communicate process across two tegras
